JOHN ROACH DEAD.

1 How the Great Shipbuilder Rose From
Penniless Emigrant to be Mil
| Honaire.
New York, Jan. 10.-John Roach, the
well known shipbuilder, breathed his last at
$50 a. m. to-day. Saturday night he ex-
perienced sharp, shooting pains at the root of
the tongue and had difficulty of breathing.
At times he would sink into comatose state.
He grew weaker yesterday, but toward even
ing revived. DIR. Taylor called at a.
m. He detected the approach of death, and
informed the family that Mr.. Roach had only
few hours to live. The dying man sank
slowly. He lost consciousness about half
past T. The moments passed by and slowly
his spirit passed away. His end was I'M
marked by a struggle.
John Roach was born at Mitchelltown,
County Cork, Ireland. His father was
this country by uncle when he was thir-
teen years old, landing practically penniless
and suffering great hardships before he
found employment to earn subsistence.
DE worked six years in a brick yard near
Troy, and then learned the trade of an iron
worker. After working at it for while he
started little repair shop in this city and
after hard battle he began to thrive, when
he lost everything by fire. Then he went
West and tried farming, but failed and had
to walk back to New York. Begin
ming again in a small way he built
up what finally became the Etna
iron works, from which he gradually
accumulated fortune. He bought up other
and added them to his own,
and in 1870 bought the large property at
Chester, Pa, where he established the ship
building industry that has made him famous
He began building iron steamships in 1871,
and just before his trouble over the govern
ment contracts he was quoted as worth about
81, OO0, 600. He has built in all ia vessels
valued at over So, 600, 900 and 80 per cent of
the iron vessels sailing under the American
flag were from his works. His government
contracts have amounted to about 81 000 0O0 |
He employed in all over 400 men, Besides |
ships he also did considerable bridge work, |
and was interested in coal and iron mining. |
Mr.. Roach was a hard worker. and prolific |
writer on topics connected with American |
shipping, protection and subsidies. The as
Segment into which he was forced by the |
difficulty with Secretary Whitney over the |
Dolphin contract broke his spirit and !
brought encouragement for the first time to |
L heart that had apparently never known the
meaning ofthe word, and it is said that his |
ears blotted the assignment paper when he |
wrote his name. His vigor and strength |
nave failed since, and the cancerous poison |
.ound little resistance to it, working. Mr..
Roach leaves widow and four children.

BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Crowded houses greeted the opening per-
formances of Conrad, or the Hand of a
Friend at Bunnell's yesterday, and the
company, which is an excellent one, with
Dick German, the great and only, as the
star, assisted by the wonderful child actress
La Petite Sadie. The play was cl overly pre-
scented throughout. 1t is well written one
and abounds in thrilling situations and tab
leaux. The plot is a good one, well defined
and nicely worked out by the company
who are all good in their various roles. Mr..
German, the favorite dialect comedian,
assumed the title role of Conrad" He is
an extremely clever actor and does his
part in a manner that would satisfy the
most severe critic. His enunciation is ex-
cellent, his voice powerful, and is easy,
graceful and natural in his actions. In the
second act it was pleasing and laughable to
notice the way the audience divided their
applause on 'sConrad'' and the child actress,
La Petite Sadie No doubt crowded houses
will be the rule the coming week. The play
and the actors merit them.

Governor Though the Democratic
Senators Remain Away.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 10.-The hallway and
corridors of the Capitol were thronged by a
crowd of people this morning anxious to wit
ness possible developments in the political
struggle now in progress. All interest CEN
tered in the House, where the galleries were
densely packed. Directly after prayer the
doorkeeper stepped to the front of the Speak
er's chair and announced the presence of the
Senate-the Senate consisting of the 10 Re-
publican members of that body. Mr.. Kelli-
son DEM arose and called "Mr. Speaker"
but he was not recognized. The Republican
Senators entered and took seats to the right
of the Speaker, Mr.. Kellison vainly claiming
the Speakers attention. The Speaker an
nounced that the business was to canvass the
vote for lieutenant governor and Kellison
again sought hearing, but was told he was
out of order. Other Democrats claim
ed the Speakers attention, but all
were refused recognition. The reading
of the returns consumed half an hour and at
its close while the clerk was making his
computations Mr.. Jewett (Dem.l addressed
the Speaker, but was told that nothing
would be in order until the canvass was
completed The result of the vote was then
announced as follows: Robertson 232, GIG;
Nelson 229, 593; Robertson's majority 8, 1928.
Upon this DIR. Robertson was sworn in by
Judge Walker of the Supreme court. Said
Speaker Sayer: 81 declare Robert Robertson
the lieutenant governor of the State of In
diana and he will address you" Mr..
Robertson instantly advanced to the front of
the Speakers desk and taking the gavel rap
ped for order. Mr.. Gordon Dem.) raised
his hand and called "Mr. Speaker" but no
attention was given him. Mr.. Jewett was
treated in similar manner,
but both managed to say:
''Mr. Speaker, we do not recognize the
legality of the joint convention" pointing to
the Senators, ftwhere there is no representa-
ton of the Senate except the fag end of that
body. We protest against this usurpation of
power, this disorganization and overturning
of precedent and law" This was the signal
for all the Democrats to begin a noisy de-
monstration. The confusion was 50 great
that an individual speaker could only be
heard occasionally and then in disjointed,
disconnected manner. Mr.. Robertson held his
position at the desk and kept up vigorous
rapping with the gavel. Notwi outstanding
the noise and confusion he proceeded to de-
liver his inaugural address, but the moi Sc was
SO great that it was heard but by few. At
its conclusion he declared the joint conven-
ton adjourned to reassemble at the same
hall on Wednesday, the 10Th, to vote for
United States Senator. Speaker Sayer then
took possession of the gavel and on m otion
of Mr.. Gardiner the House adjourned.

quick action, clever clinaxes and genuine
